Are 'unexpected' early relapses really unexpected in #myeloma ? Or a sign for need for wider implementation of and access to already diagnostic tests? Challenging the concept of functional high-risk myeloma through transcriptional and genetic profiling url: ashpublications.org/blood/articl...

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI

Real-world data is a hot topic with medical regulators and payers in oncology. Here is our analysis comparing a change in induction regimens in multiple myeloma in a public healthcare system, using real-world MRD measurement. www.clinical-lymphoma-myeloma-leukemia.com/article/S215...

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

Very nice reflection on risk and personalisation of medicine in context of regulation www.gov.uk/government/n...

Doesn’t sound ideal. "We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure," the memo says. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

"Researchers recruited to work in the UK have to fund a £1,035 annual immigration health surcharge, which must be paid in full in advance, as well as up to £1,519 in visa fees. For a family of four, the upfront costs can total almost £30,000."

🧬 Some promising novel candidates for therapeutic inhibition included: • BAFF-R and CD39 in HL • CD25 in MM • CD27 in CLL • CD80/86 in DLBCL • CCR2 in FL and MZL

We are excited to announce our latest publication in #BloodCancerJournal of our Two-Sample MR analysis to investigate causal relationships between 446 immune cell traits and 6 B-cell malignancies 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #cancer #genetics #Bcell #bloodcancer #drugdiscovery #MR

Funny how this hypothetical talk of "optimizing" never considers traits like kindness, decency, generosity of spirit... It's always "what does my baby need to get ahead?"

Great comment by @sarahoconnorft.ft.com -- I shared some reflection at the start of the year. To me a revaluation of social status is necessary and potentially a reconfiguration of social organisation away from occupational silos. www.trfetzer.com/generational...

Peto's Paradox—that cancer does not increase with body size of mammals—was wrong. A new, comprehensive study of 263 species documents higher cancer prevalence with increasing body mass. Some large animals (e.g. elephants) have some built-in genetic adaptations www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

A pleasure to do this British Society of Haematology podcast on advanced imaging in myeloma for earlier diagnosis and morbidity prevention with Dr Ceri Bygrave. open.spotify.com/episode/1JAq...

The inverse correlation between articles bemoaning the existential plight of the German economy, and its stock market, is a wonder to behold

Amazing historical quote in the Economist: 'In part owing to the East German government’s industrial policy in the 1980s, ..., the region (Saxony) has become Europe’s largest maker of microelectronics' Fantastic DLF podcast on similar topic ('Neuland') www.economist.com/finance-and-...

China wants in on the pedestrian and cyclist crushing game too.

If there's something we don't understand I assume transposons are responsible unless proven otherwise

Nah, it was dumb as balls. Congress relabeled French fries "freedom fries" because they were mad at France for not joining the war. The justification for attacking Iraq was that they had aluminum tubes. The war had a slogan and the slogan was "Let's Roll!"

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']: Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.
